Thoughts Frozen In Time
There was a time, when he'd lie awake,
And thank the lord for all of his mistakes,
When life was good, and things were nice,
And everything but his heart had turned to ice,
But times have changed things grew old,
And now there was nothing to reach or to hold,
Nothing to love, nothing to care for,
Nothing but the emptiness behind a forbidden door,
So he grows old as he wishes for more,
And he turns to stone from the outskirts of his core,
Holding back, everything he wants to say,
He holds his breath so afraid of today,
Memory is nice and all inside of his head,
But nothing matches the constant feeling of wishing he were dead,
Thinking of the life he wished for in his mind,
All of his thoughts have been frozen in time,
Frozen in a time when everything was right,
When nothing could go wrong and it all seemed so nice,
When time would have stopped just by feeling the breath,
The breath of his love when life was at its best,
There was once a time when fairy tales seemed real,
But now nothing felt real cause there was no sense of feel,
Inside his mind he had been robbed of his past,
Nothing held true, nothing would last,
And everything was like a knife cutting through his skin,
Now everything felt wrong except living from within,
So he holds himself together, deep inside his mind,
Hoping things will go back to the way they used to be sometime.

These two lines don't seem to have the appropriate meter. (At least to me.) It would also be easier to read if you separated your poem into paragraphs or stanzas. That would also have the added benefit of not scaring people away. Some people are too lazy to read one huge block of text. (Like my sis) Separating it will make it seem more manageable.
I must say I like the way that you explain your thoughts without having to use big words that look cool but are sometimes hard to understand. Your poem is a role model of using simple words to explain great meaning. Thumbs up to ya.

Don't you wish there was knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence?
There's one marked 'Brightness', but it doesn't work

I always feel bad about my comments. They're usually the same. 'Wow'. 'Awesome'. I just don't know what to say, really.... I'm sometimes good at voicing my opinion but usually not and when it comes to your poems, my mind blankens and all I can think of is 'wow' and 'awesome'.....
